The banner and some pics of Emerald City Comic Con

This is how the banner came out.  Figured some peeps might want to see it undistorted and clean like.

It came out rad.  Props to the printers.

Don't lie. You've never seen a better banner.

 These are some of my favorite cosplay pics from in front of the booth.
 
Look at dat awesome banner up there behind everything.  Word?

SO CUTE!

Also SO CUTE.  Look - she's like Mario but sweeter.

Met this girl and her buddies and they were super fly (tm).

These two girls were hilarious and super cool.  Skills at cosplay.

Mother f_cking BOB'S in the house.

Best family ever.

Color Work

Working out color for the last sketch posted.

Here's another take on the cosplay concept.  It's a sort of mashup of a bunch of refs into one little package.  And for the nerd impared out there (which can't be many because, well, you're reading an digital art blog) I've listed all of the things I'd like to paint into it.

Luigi, Chun Li, Samus, Pokemon, Cammie, Lara Croft, Zelda - I'm pretty much ripping it all.  

I guess you could kind of say like a DJ would do with music, I'd like to do with these characters.

Commence the music.

Those are all game references, but I had to fight to keep a star wars bit out of this.  Oooh - maybe she could be holding a black and red umbrella over her shoulder to mix in a tad of resident evil.

Hopefully I'll find time, of which there is little presently, to fill out the rest of the piece.

As always, your comments are welcome and very much appreciated.

be seeing you,

Bottleneck Gallery's 3nes show pieces, Mario, Zelda, and Metroid stacking dolls

HOW MANY TIMES CAN I DRAW THESE FOOLS FROM OLDSCHOOL NINTENDO?

I make pieces like this all the time.

I try to do it a little differently each time.  You know, grow a bit?  Well here are a set of prints available at Bottleneck.

It's ganon again! Againon?

Also, several news sites have been re-posting my work, which is awesome! But my last name is Wilson, not Fourthwish.  Although that would be really cool, I have to interject. Thanks for the coverage.

I love me some Matryoshka dolls.  It's been suggested that I should actually make these.  MAYBE I WILL! I'll show you!

(probably, I won't...)

Boo! It's that time of the year again.

There's an upcoming art show.  If you're in the Seattle area or going to PAX, you kinda need to go to this
Aug 30th
7pm 
307 E Pike S t

At the LTD art gallery just blocks from where PAX is being held.

It's a video game art show and I illustrated my second set of bad puns.  Series Boo.  They're all based on the ghost character from Super Mario Brothers.  SMB has the best characters and Boo Didley (as he was originally called) is a really nice base for variation in the Super Mario Bros. world.  A nice round shape with a pink tongue and little flippers.  What's not to love?

Here are the 'base models' for the illustrations I did.  I'll be posting them throughout the next 10 days every once in a while, which is way WAY more frequently than I've been posting for some time.

A more shy version of the same Boo with one of the mushrooms that makes you larger

Prepare yourself for another season of bad puns.  You've been warned.
